Özet
In general and technical terms, law is defined as “a whole consisting of compelling rules with certain characteristics that regulate the relations of people with each other or with the communities they have formed and the relations of these communities with each other” (ÖZTAN, 1998). The supremacy of law is indispensable in terms of the rule of law, the establishment of justice, and the maintenance of public order. The common determinig characteristic of all democratic societies is the desire to live in a free and prosperous society. The basis of such a desire is to ensure social order and security within order. The most important wealth and prestige of nations can generally be defined as a justice system that assimilates universal legal values. It is the primary duty of the public authority to ensure that all forms of personal, interpersonal, and societal actions and processes are known, predictable, protected, and sustainable within the framework of legal rules. Therefore, capturing those who disrupt social relationships within an order through intentional or negligent actions, and swiftly continuing life by compensating for the rights and interests of the victims resulting from these actions, whether from the perpetrators or public resources, is of vital importance. The judicial system is responsible for fulfilling this expectation. In this regard, the fundamental expectation from the judicial system is for justice to operate effectively and efficiently, making decisions quickly and with the highest level of accuracy, compensating for the harm suffered by the victim, apprehending and punishing the offender, and preserving and maintaining societal harmony and order through public authority. It is indisputable that such complex, multidimensional systems can only be realized through the will of public authority. Emergency situations are events that are likely to transform into “criminal incidents” after the initial intervention. The determination of suspicious/abnormalities in the resolution of criminal incidents, the preservation of the crime scene, the condition of the scene during the initial intervention, the identification and collection of evidence, the investigation of traces, the establishment of a connection between the suspect/ victim and the incident, and the reconstruction of the incident mechanism are vital activities. First responders are the public forces that provide initial intervention to any emergency situation that may potentially evolve into a criminal incident. The awareness created by first responders in the intervention procedures for emergency situations can offer unique opportunities in resolving events that will later transform into criminal incidents. In this regard, it is highly important to develop an awareness-oriented approach model for First Responders in the resolution of Criminal Incidents, based on a dynamic system understanding
